Around the motu: Robin Martin in Taranaki

From Nine To Noon, 10:45 am on 22 March 2023

Robin talks to Kathryn about the Ministry of Health's response to new research which  accuses authorities of a long-standing campaign to silence evidence about the health impacts of dioxin emissions from the production of 2,4,5-T in New Plymouth during the 1960s.

Robin also has an update on the origins of Wally the weka who turned up in Manaia in February. Weka have been regionally extinct in Taranaki since the 1930s.
